If you like the LOTR movies, go watch this movie!
I already had a big smile on my face the moment the New Line logo started appearing (not because of the logo :P ). I want sure if I’d like the anime style, but while I still prefer live action it was great, especially the beautiful backgrounds resp. landscapes.
The story is quite straightforward and brings you a backstory to places or people featuring in lotr Rohan, but there’s no direct connection (which I think is good).
I wouldn’t have considered it YA. Just less “visually violent” due to animation, but theme and story seem pretty much standard. I’d say the main target age is anyone that has already seen lotr :P
